Motion Control

Transfer motion from any video to any image. Take a reference video with the desired motion and apply it to your product photos or artwork. Powered by: Kling 2.6 Motion Control
Credit Cost: 8 credits (5s) | 16 credits (10s)
Generation Time: 3-5 minutes

How It Works

Motion Control uses AI to analyze the motion in a reference video and apply that same motion pattern to your image:
  1. Upload Reference Video — Any video with the motion you want
  2. Upload Your Image — Your product photo, artwork, or graphic
  3. Generate — Model transfers motion from video to image
  4. Result — Animated video of your image with the reference motion

Use Cases

Product Animation

Apply professional motion to product photos: Example:
  • Reference Video: Slow rotating motion of any object
  • Your Image: Product photo (headphones, watch, bottle, etc.)
  • Result: Product rotating with smooth professional motion

Infographic Animation

Bring static infographics to life: Example:
  • Reference Video: Zoom in motion
  • Your Image: Infographic or data visualization
  • Result: Animated infographic with dynamic zoom

Poster Animation

Animate marketing posters: Example:
  • Reference Video: Pan left motion
  • Your Image: Movie poster or event flyer
  • Result: Dynamic poster with panning motion

Logo Animation

Add motion to logos and branding: Example:
  • Reference Video: Subtle floating motion
  • Your Image: Logo on transparent background
  • Result: Animated logo with floating effect

Best Practices

Choosing Reference Videos

  • Single motion direction (rotate, pan, zoom)
  • Smooth, continuous motion
  • Avoid complex or jittery motion
  • Rotation: Object rotating on turntable
  • Pan: Camera panning left/right
  • Zoom: Slow zoom in or out
  • Tilt: Camera tilting up/down
  • Orbit: Camera orbiting around subject
  • Fast, jerky motion
  • Multiple simultaneous motions
  • Complex camera movements
  • Heavy motion blur

Preparing Your Image

Best results with images on:
  • White/solid color backgrounds
  • Transparent backgrounds
  • Minimal clutter
  • High resolution (at least 1080p)
  • Sharp focus
  • Good lighting
  • Clear subject separation
  • Center subject in frame
  • Leave some padding around edges
  • Consider final composition

Examples

Product Rotation

Reference Video: Turntable rotation (360° spin)
Your Image: Product photo (watch, headphones, bottle)
Result: Product rotating smoothly like on a turntable
Prompt:
Product rotating smoothly on turntable, clean motion, 
professional product video

Zoom In Effect

Reference Video: Slow zoom in to subject
Your Image: Infographic or poster
Result: Dynamic zoom in effect on your graphic
Prompt:
Smooth zoom in effect, cinematic reveal, 
professional motion graphics

Pan Across

Reference Video: Horizontal pan left or right
Your Image: Wide banner or landscape image
Result: Panning motion across your image
Prompt:
Smooth pan across image, steady camera movement, 
professional video

Orbit Motion

Reference Video: Camera orbiting around subject
Your Image: Product photo
Result: Product video with orbiting camera effect
Prompt:
Camera orbiting around product, smooth circular motion, 
cinematic product video

Combining with Other Features

Workflow: Product Video Pipeline

[Product Photo] → [Remove Background] → [Motion Control] → [Export]
  1. Remove background from product photo
  2. Apply rotation motion from reference video
  3. Export final product video

Workflow: Batch Product Animation

[List Node (10 product images)] → [Motion Control Node] → [Bulk Export]
Use same reference video for multiple products in batch. See Node System for workflow details.

  • Infographics — Pre-built motion for data viz
  • Text — Typography animation
  • Posters — Marketing material motion
  • Products — Product-specific motion
  • From Scratch — Custom motion generation

Tips

Start Simple: Begin with simple single-direction motions (rotate, pan, zoom) before trying complex camera movements.
Test with 5s: Generate 5s videos first (8 credits) to test motion, then move to 10s (16 credits) when satisfied.
Use Clean Backgrounds: Remove backgrounds first for best motion transfer results.
Stock Footage: Use stock footage websites for reference videos with professional motion.

Troubleshooting

  • Simplify reference video motion
  • Use single-direction motion (rotate OR pan, not both)
  • Try different reference video
  • Check if reference motion is smooth and continuous
  • Use smoother reference video
  • Avoid fast motion in reference
  • Try 10s duration for smoother motion
  • Use professional stock footage for reference
  • Use higher resolution source image (at least 1080p)
  • Remove background for cleaner results
  • Ensure good lighting and sharp focus in source image
  • Remove background before applying motion control
  • Use images with clean, solid backgrounds
  • See Background Removal
